Hi,
We are using HP Openmail on Redhat Linux for approximately 50
employees. I have been very impressed with the product. It provides
nearly all the features of exchange server on a UNIX platform at an
equivalent price point.
There are a few gotchas however
* the Australasia HP Office dont seem to know much about it - they
always think your talking about HP Openview :(
* there is quite a bit of playing around with mime types and MAPI
options, but once your up its very stable.
* the web front end is a little non-intuitive.
On the plus side
* It seems to be quite scalable and not very resource intensive
* The Openmail community is very helpful, you can find a wealth of
information on there discussion boards.
* Installation is a breeze with everything in an rpm
I would definitely recommend you try it out ( there is a free linux
trial version for redhat ... RPMS) if your users want to be able to
use the calendar/appointment fuctionality of outlook.
